(Intro: A smooth, warm bass line and a steady, syncopated one-drop drum beat drop in. A clean, echoing electric guitar plays the reggae skank rhythm on the off-beats. A steel drum or mellow synth plays the "Deck the Halls" melody.) (Verse 1) (Rap - Mellow, Confident Flow) (N.C.)Yo, the air is getting crisp, but the fire is inside, Forget the cold, man, we got nowhere to hide. Got the season rolling, yeah, the energy's high, Looking at the family with a peace in my eye. We ain't decking the halls with the plastic and the fake, We talkin' 'bout the real love, for goodness' sake. Gotta tune into the good vibes, tune out the stress, This universal rhythm is here to truly bless. So spark up the spirit, let the positive flow, Watch the gratitude grow, watch the sorrow go. (Pre-Chorus) (Reggae - Melodic Vocals) (C)See the winter creeping, (G)but we keep the pulse warm, (Am)Gotta find the shelter (F)from the seasonal storm. (C)Yeah, the bass is pumping, (G)the drum is hitting true, (Am)The best gift we got, man, (E)is me and me and you! (Chorus) (Rap and Reggae Fusion - Uplifting and Assertive) **(Am)**Deck the halls with good vibes, fa la la la la, la la la la! (Rap: Yeah, no holding back!) (G)'Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la! (Rap: Feel the beat drop!) **(C)**Join the rhythm, join the freedom, fa la la la la, la la la la! **(F)**We keep the music playing, man, fa la la la la, la la la la! (Verse 2) (Rap - Energetic, Unifying Flow) (N.C.)Forget the shopping panic, forget the big spend, The value of the moment is the treasure that won't end. We're gathered around the fire, yeah, sharing the simple feast, Giving thanks for the presence, north, south, west, and east. We gotta lift the spirits of the people who fall, Break down the division, answer the true call. We singing the old carols, putting new rhythm on the sound, This unity and joy is the blessing we have found. So put down the worry, put down the doubt, Let the positive energy flow freely out! This feeling is contagious, let it move through the crowd, Gotta spread the message, gotta sing it proud and loud! (Pre-Chorus) (Reggae - Melodic Vocals) (C)See the winter creeping, (G)but we keep the pulse warm, (Am)Gotta find the shelter (F)from the seasonal storm. (C)Yeah, the bass is pumping, (G)the drum is hitting true, (Am)The best gift we got, man, (E)is me and me and you! (Chorus) (Rap and Reggae Fusion - Uplifting and Assertive) **(Am)**Deck the halls with good vibes, fa la la la la, la la la la! (Rap: Yeah, no holding back!) (G)'Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la! (Rap: Feel the beat drop!) **(C)**Join the rhythm, join the freedom, fa la la la la, la la la la! **(F)**We keep the music playing, man, fa la la la la, la la la la! (Outro) (The music fades slowly, emphasizing the deep bass line and the mellow guitar skank. Steel drums play the final, fading melody.) (Am-G-C-F) Fa la la la la... (N.C.)Happy Holidays, man... One Love! (The rhythm slowly fades to silence.)
